After the three of Mo Lao left, Zheng Yingjun muttered: "Brother, the silver sent for nothing flew like this, you are too innocent." ”

"Hehe, eating people with soft mouths and short hands, you won't be unaware of this truth. Alright, let's pack our bags. Accompany me to see my grandfather. Zhang Peng said with a smile. Zheng Yingjun shrugged his shoulders and turned to pack his luggage.

Ever since the two didn't know each other in an inn, the two regarded each other as brothers. Because, Zhang Peng didn't hide anything about himself, and told Zheng Yingjun everything. When Zheng Yingjun learned that Zhang Peng was actually the son of the once famous Difu Mansion, he was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall off. You must know that Zhang Chen is a super idol-level existence in Zheng Yingjun's heart. However, it was more Zhang Peng's honesty to himself, which made Zheng Yingjun very moved. After all, this kind of secret is not something that anyone can tell. Because of this incident, the relationship between Zhang Peng and Zheng Yingjun has gradually increased, and it has reached the point where many brothers are better than brothers.

After packing their luggage, Zhang Peng and Zheng Yingjun did not stop for a moment, walked out of the inn and galloped towards a place on the outskirts of Luoyang City.

is getting closer and closer to the house where he once lived, and Zhang Peng's mood is even more excited. It's been eleven years, it's been eleven years. The trail has not changed much from before, it is still green grass, and at the end of the road is still a farmhouse compound, which is the place where Zhang Peng is full of childhood memories, and it is also full of warm memories of Zhang Peng and Zhang Chen.

Zhang Peng's pace is getting faster and faster, recently he unconsciously made the pace of rain falling without a shadow, just a few flashes, and appeared hundreds of miles away, Zheng Yingjun behind him looked at the eager Zhang Peng, and couldn't help but count his nose, he has been wandering alone on the rivers and lakes since he was a child, although he has had a master, but that was a long time ago, for the feeling of home, Zheng Yingjun has no concept in his heart.

For Zhang Peng, who was getting faster and faster, Zheng Yingjun seemed a little helpless, he really wanted to catch up, but his light skills were not a little worse than Zhang Peng, and he was powerless, so he could only be hung behind.

Zhang Peng, who was hundreds of miles away, stopped his pace at this time and stood quietly on a small hillside, and under the hillside, a farmhouse compound loomed in the jungle, which was where Zhang Peng lived in his childhood and Yin Lao. At this time, Zhang Peng's eyes had already been blurred by tears, looking at everything around him blankly, recalling the past when he was a child.

After a while, Zheng Yingjun came to Zhang Peng's side panting and stood side by side. When he saw Zhang Peng's teary-eyed blurred appearance, he couldn't help but feel a sigh, and Zheng Yingjun's face, who originally wanted to joke about Zhang Peng, gradually solidified. Zheng Yingjun followed Zhang Peng's line of sight, and an ordinary compound that could no longer be ordinary came into view.

"Is this your home?" Zheng Yingjun put away his playful smile and said slowly.

"Well, this is my home, and there is my only relative in it. Zhang Peng looked intently at the courtyard below.

Zheng Yingjun nodded, then patted Zhang Peng's shoulder heavily, and said, "Then let's go in." Let your grandpa see what you look like now, you must be very happy!"

Zhang Peng nodded, took a deep breath, and after calming down his emotions, he strode towards the compound.

Seeing Zhang Peng like this, Zheng Yingjun couldn't help but whisper: "It's good to feel at home!" Then, he walked up behind Zhang Peng with a smile.

After a while, the two came to the gate of the compound, Zhang Peng took a deep breath, raised his right hand tremblingly, and knocked on the wooden gate.

"Bang bang bang~" With the vibration of the wooden door, the door at least suddenly sprinkled a lot of dust.

Zhang Peng's mood at this time was extremely excited, and he was even thinking about what he should say when he saw Yin Lao for the first time. But Zheng Yingjun's face on the side put away a smile on his face, and replaced it with a serious face. Maybe because Zhang Peng was too excited, he didn't notice the dust spilled on the door, but Zheng Yingjun took these things seriously. It is certain that the gate is in and out every day according to the perennial inhabited compound, but why is there so much dust on the gate? This is a sign that the gate has not been opened for at least some time.

Zhang Peng, who waited for a while, saw that the door showed no sign of opening from the inside, and then raised his right hand again and was about to knock on the door, but Zheng Yingjun on the side stretched out his hand to stop him, and said in a deep voice: "Don't knock, something is wrong!"

Hearing Zheng Yingjun's words, Zhang Peng reacted, looked at the dilapidated gate, and the heavy dust in the cracks of the gate, and his face suddenly became solemn. The traces of this gate show that no one has touched it for a long time, and if Yin Lao really lives here all the time, this is definitely an impossible thing to happen.

"Bang~"

With a loud bang, Zhang Peng immediately slapped the door open with a heavy palm, and a thick cloud of dust suddenly hit his face. provoked the two of them to cover their mouths and noses, and fanned the flying dust in front of them with their hands. When the dust cleared, the scene in the compound suddenly stunned the two. In Zhang Peng's impression, the former compound was hurried and tidy. But now it's the opposite, and it's incredibly cluttered. The flowers and plants in the courtyard have long since withered, the stone chairs and stone tables in the courtyard are also covered with thick dust, and the beams of the main door are also covered with cobwebs, and the entire compound seems to have been abandoned for a long time.

"How can this be! That's right, grandpa!" Zhang Peng at the door was speechless at first, and then quickly walked into the courtyard and kept shouting Yin Lao.

Because this courtyard was originally only inhabited by Zhang Peng and Yin Lao, this courtyard is not big, there are only three rooms before and after, Zhang Peng turned the whole courtyard around and did not find Yin Lao, the whole courtyard is empty. Just judging from the neatly displayed furniture in the room and the teacups and teapots on the tea table, Yin Lao should have left in a hurry. Otherwise, it would not be so neat.

"How can this be?" said Zheng Yingjun as he walked into the room from the outside and whispered.

Zhang Peng shook it slowly, obviously not knowing the reason, and then suddenly said: "Looking around, grandpa seems to have left in a hurry." ”

When Zheng Yingjun heard this, he also looked around, and also agreed with Zhang Peng's statement and nodded. Immediately afterwards, Zheng Yingjun asked as if he had thought of something, "Do you know if grandpa has offended anyone, or is there any enemy?"

Zhang Peng shook his head: "Grandpa is a man, loyal and kind, and never participates in disputes on the rivers and lakes, so how can he make enemies with others." Then, Zhang Peng's pupils shrank, and he frowned and said, "What do you mean by this." ”

Zheng Yingjun said with a serious face: "Have you ever thought about it, if it is a grievance in your grandfather's family, or a grievance when you were young? How much do you know about your grandfather's identity and background?"

Zhang Peng frowned tightly and said, "I only know that my grandfather is an ordinary medicine picker, and I only have one relative. As for the background, I don't think there's anything out of the ordinary. ”

"Are you sure?"

Zhang Peng just wanted to nod, but he was stunned. Because now even he is not sure if he knows whether the truth is the truth, just like his master Wuchen Daoren, isn't it also a mystery in his heart?

Zheng Yingjun patted Zhang Peng's shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, maybe grandpa just went out... Will be back. ”

When I was young, my grandfather made a promise with me that he would wait for me here, no matter how long it was, until I arrived. Grandpa must have had an accident, it must be!"

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Zhang Peng hurriedly ran to the tea table in front of him, overturned the tea table, and then squatted down and took out a piece of his head on the ground, and then took out a yellowed letter from the hole.

This place used to be the place where Zhang Chen and Yin Lao exchanged letters, just to prevent the two from telling each other some things even if they couldn't meet. Zhang Peng thought to himself, if Yin Lao was really forced to leave here because he was in a hurry, presumably Yin Lao would also find a way to leave a little clue for himself. And this is exactly the sweet spot.

Zheng Yingjun stepped forward with a frown, and Zhang Peng slowly opened the envelope in his hand with a worried heart.

"Don't think about Peng's return, the deceased is like this, travel the rivers and lakes, and don't be yin!"

Zhang Peng's hand holding the paper kept trembling, looking at the scribbled lines written on it, Zhang Peng's heart ached. He could feel how panicked and anxious Yin Lao seemed when he left this letter.

Zheng Yingjun stood quietly on the side and did not speak, he knew that a thousand words at this time were not as effective as standing aside silently.

Zhang Peng trembled and folded the letter in his hand smoothly and put it in his arms, and a trace of scarlet appeared in Zhang Peng's eyes at this time.

"Fatty, do you probably understand the meaning of these four sentences?" Zhang Peng turned to look at Zheng Yingjun and asked.

Zheng Yingjun frowned slightly, and said, "Since your grandfather put the letter here, then he must know that you can find it." And the meaning of the above is also obvious, so that you... Let you stop trying to find him, and let him be gone..."

"How is this possible?" Zhang Peng shouted in a low voice, obviously it was impossible for him to listen to Yin Lao's words. Elder Yin's position in Zhang Peng's heart is as deep and important as his father Zhang Chen. In this kind of relationship, especially a sentence that the deceased can do things.

Zheng Yingjun was not surprised by Zhang Peng's reaction, after all, the two had been together for so long, and he still knew Zhang Peng's personality. Zheng Yingjun didn't know what else he could say, so he could only pat Zhang Peng's shoulder, soothe him for a while, and said, "Peng, don't be anxious first." Let me ask you first, is your grandfather's surname Yin?"

Zhang Pengmu nodded, not understanding why Zheng Yingjun asked this. Zheng Yingjun had a really like this expression, and then said, "Then do you know anyone surnamed Cao?"

When Zhang Peng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Do you mean to say that the last sentence "Don't be yin" has no meaning?"

Zheng Yingjun just looked at Zhang Peng in a daze and didn't answer. At this time, Zhang Peng also suddenly came back to his senses and muttered: "Don't be yin, don't be yin! Could it be that grandpa's departure is related to the person surnamed Cao? But in my impression, I have never heard of it from my grandfather's mouth. ”

"Hey. Zheng Yingjun shook his head helplessly and said, "The clues we have now are all your memories when you were young, as well as these four sentences left by your grandfather. With these two points alone, it is difficult for us to get to the bottom of the matter. It seems that we can only solve this problem bit by bit. ”

Zhang Peng nodded, and became excited. Then he looked at Zheng Yingjun, and first smiled apologetically, but Zheng Yingjunbao waved his hand indifferently. Zheng Yingjun's actions made Zhang Peng more sure of this brother in his heart.

"By the way, I suddenly noticed a problem, just when you became excited, your eyes seemed to have changed a little, and they turned into a blood-red state. That look was like... It's like..."Zheng Yingjun said suddenly. But when the words came to his lips, Zheng Yingjun couldn't find anything to describe Zhang Peng's eyes, so it was better to stare at Zhang Peng casually and let him say it himself.

Zhang Peng smiled faintly, and then the originally black pupils suddenly turned into a blood-red appearance, such a change suddenly made Zheng Yingjun surprised, and said, "Yes, yes! Scary, terrifying, cold, like an emotionless devil!"

Hearing Zheng Yingjun say this, Zhang Peng grinned, and then explained that this was a kind of inherited disease in the family, and only when he couldn't control his emotions would he have such a transformation in his body, and the whole person would become extremely fierce.

Zheng Yingjun naturally didn't fully believe in such an explanation, but he didn't ask too much about it, after all, Zheng Yingjun has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, but he has never heard of this disease explained by Zhang Peng. However, everyone will leave a little secret on their body more or less, and Zheng Yingjun did not dwell on this issue.

After Zhang Peng briefly tidied up the hall, the two walked out of the courtyard and locked the gate. It's just that when Zhang Peng locked the door, his mood was extremely heavy, because he knew that once he locked the door today, he was afraid that he would never come back in the future.
